No Child Left Inside Legislation moving toward approval!
On October 21, 2011, the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions approved key elements of the NCLI Act as part of its reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). During the hearing, the committee accepted an amendment put forth by Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) that proposed new grant program titled, “Well-Rounded Education,” which includes environmental education as a subject eligible for funding under Title IV of ESEA. This helps boost the School Garden and Nutrition agenda.
